I have a friend with absolutely brilliant taste in music, and she turned me on to the Sean Lennon album the other day. I really dig the whole thing, it's great. Sean has a musical heritage and influence without peer, and he has done some very interesting things with it. The fact that both that and UTS was on there validates the list to some extent, but the music industry thrives on payola, so you have to take these arbitrary lists with a grain of salt (where is Donald Fagen's "Morph the Cat"??). It is fun to see what other people think is the best of whatever, you never know what you might be missing!
